Chapter 72 From Another World
What did Liu Fengchun do that made him regretful? He brought someone to Lei Huan's residence, and the arrival of this person caused the separation of Lei's family.
Liu Fengchun still had a lot of regret when he mentioned this matter.
"If I had known that Chen Shi was sister-in-law's first love, I would rather die than bring him to Brother Lei Huan's house." Liu Fengchun said regretfully to the two juniors of the Lei family.
Liu Feiyang sensitively heard the two words "Chen Shi" and immediately responded: "But isn't Chen Shi the great steward of the Hu family? The father of Clever-handed Xishi, Chen Xixi?"
Liu Fengchun said, "Exactly. How would I have known that Chen Shi was the heartless man who abandoned her in the end? How would I have known that your mother still had lingering feelings for him and wanted to leave with him?" It's clear that Liu Fengchun feels guilty about this matter.
Liu Feiyang was shocked, "Ah, mom's mom, my grandma, you really did cross over to this place!" But Chen Shi didn't have any characteristics of being from another world? Ah, and neither do I have anything special about me, right?
Liu Qingqing's eyes widened in surprise: "Master, don't slander innocent people! My mother wouldn't be that kind of person! I remember my parents were deeply in love."
"Child, what you said is indeed true. Originally, your parents were loving, and your mother had never mentioned his first love, and sincerely treated my elder brother Lei Huan. However, since your mother saw Chen Shi, things changed."
It's like this.
At that time, Chen Shi was entrusted by Yang Zhong, the shopkeeper of Hu's family, to come to Lei Huan's home and persuade him to operate a restaurant with Hu's family. Because Lei Huan had already resigned from his job as an imperial chef in order to spend more time with his wife Liu Ying, he opened a restaurant and inn called Yingbin Building in the capital city.
The Hu family had a large silk store in Kyoto, a large pharmacy, and a large bank pawnshop. The merchants who came and went all stayed at the Welcome Pavilion. Hu Yangzhong wanted to bring the Welcome Pavilion under his control, which would not only facilitate personnel arrangements but also expand business operations. They heard that Liu Fengchun and Lei Huan were close friends, so they asked him to introduce them.
Liu Fengchun brought Chen Shi to the Lei's house, but unexpectedly, Lei Huan was not there. Instead, Madame Lei Liu Ying came out to meet them. As soon as Chen Shi saw Liu Ying, he burst into tears and knelt down to apologize.
At first, Liu Fengchun didn't understand, but gradually he understood.
These two people come from different worlds.
Chen Shi is Wu You Xin, who exists in the body of Chen Shi in another world. So when he saw Liu Ying, Lei Huan's wife, he immediately recognized her, but Liu Ying did not recognize Chen Shi. He was startled by Chen Shi's actions until Chen Shi told his story, and she believed that this person was indeed her first love, but with a completely different face, Liu Ying no longer had the feeling of infatuation she had back then.
They came to this other world in different ways.
Chen Shi is similar to borrowing a corpse to return to the soul. His body is Chen Shi, and his thoughts are Wu Youxin. Liu Ying, on the other hand, is like Liu Qingqing, who borrowed the help of Biyu Buddha. After she entered the water, she naturally crossed over to another world because it happened to be the night of the full moon, and at that time, Biyu Buddha's belly transformed into a door.
Meeting in another world, both people were very excited. The emotional entanglements had long since disappeared, and both of them could calmly talk about the past.
But Liu Fengchun listened to it on the side, and it was cloudy and unclear. What is modern? What is love or not? Liu Ying is the wife of her brother Lei Huanxin's beloved, and she cannot let Chen Shi take her away no matter what.
Then he started to attack.
"You say you are my sister's husband? How is that possible?" In fact, Liu Fengchun also believed it in his heart, because there was Qingyang this eldest son as proof. At the time when his sister came, she was pregnant with six months, which she knew very clearly.
"We just had a relationship in the past, but now we have nothing to do with each other." The two people explained as they walked towards Liu Fengchun.
Now I can rest assured.
Liu Fengchun thought to himself, how could he explain this to his brother? Wasn't this just inviting a wolf into their home? So, before Chen Shi returned, Liu Fengchun made a decisive decision: Lei Huan would not be able to co-manage the restaurant with the Hu family. They were love rivals after all. If the two of them rekindled their old flame, Lei Huan would definitely be the one hurt the most.
Chen Shi also understood the difficulty of cooperation, so he prepared to bid farewell and leave the Lei family. Just then, Lei Huan returned.
Chen Shi took the initiative, changed his mind on horseback, seized the opportunity, and told Lei Huan about Hu's plan. Lei Huan did not speak immediately, but smiled at his beloved wife and younger brother. Liu Fengchun knew what had happened, he tried to stop it.
Lei Huan found it amusing "Didn't you bring Director Chen here yourself? If you didn't agree, why did you bring him here?"
This question is reasonable. Originally, Liu Fengchun was very willing to cooperate with others, because Lei Huan had superb culinary skills, but rarely managed the business well. However, if they cooperated, it might not be just a matter of poor management. If things went wrong, it could lead to family ruin and separation.
"I strongly oppose the partnership with Hu's family, I am willing to work with my brother and take charge of everything in Yingbin Building." Liu Fengchun's culinary skills were average, just a second-rate chef. However, his business acumen was more developed than Lei Huan's, but he had no intention of using it. Now, for the sake of his brother Lei Huan, he decided to take matters into his own hands.
Lei Huan heard that Liu Fengchun was willing to cooperate with himself, and immediately decided to work with his younger brother. As the saying goes, "brothers working together can cut through metal."
Chen Shi looked at them and saw that there was no hope of cooperation, so he bid farewell to several people with a bow and wished Liu Ying happiness. One day, if Liu Ying became tired of life in another world and returned to modern times, she would have to apologize to her father on his behalf and take care of them for him.
Liu Ying nodded in agreement and the two of them parted ways.
Lei Huan was very puzzled, what's going on?
Liu Ying didn't hide it either, and told Chen Shi's previous incarnation Wu Youxin's love story from start to finish.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Liu Qingqing and Liu Feiyang were stunned. Especially Liu Feiyang, who was the modern-day Liu Qingqing, almost exploded.
That's too ridiculous, right?
I was originally spouting nonsense, but every sentence turned out to be true. My own mother really did come to this other world. And, I really did have a romance that transcended time and space here. Oh my god!
"Well, what about afterwards? I feel that mom really loved dad." Liu Feiyang and Liu Qingqing answered together.
Liu Fengchun said: "Who says it isn't? We also thought so. But your mother, she disappeared after that."
It turned out that Liu Ying met Chen Shi again, and didn't return for the whole night. The next day when she came back, it was still Chen Shi who sent her back, and coincidentally, this matter was seen by Lei Huan, which made him extremely angry.
Lei Huan was very angry. However, he found that he still couldn't bear to part with Liu Ying, his love for her ran too deep. In the subject of love, it's always those who love deeply who suffer more.
Lei Huan is willing to forgive his wife Liu Ying. As long as he is willing to be with him, he is willing to forgive all his wrongs.
Liu Ying didn't say she wanted to leave, nor did she apologize. Although it was just a misunderstanding. Liu Ying had no intention of reconciling with Chen Shi, not even a thread of connection remained, but Chen Shi thought he could use her to provoke Ren Yueying.
Ren Yueying scoffed at Chen Shi's actions. She loved Chen Shi, not Wu Youxin who was disguised as Chen Shi. So, their plan failed.
The failed attempt to steal the chicken not only ruined her own life but also brought down Liu Ying's. However, Liu Ying didn't want to explain because she saw the sparkling Bi Yu Buddha and knew it was time for her to leave the alien world. Rather than letting Lei Huan suffer, she'd rather let him think she was heartless, so she...
She flew up quietly on a moonlit night without explaining the cause and effect.
Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, her heart is like a dan Tian in the green sea every night.
Liu Ying returned to her own world - modern times, but she missed Lei Huan every day. She drowned her sorrows in wine, lost in memories of the past. Until one day, she discovered a surprise - she had inherited the blood of her beloved man. This gave her the courage to live on in modern times. Thus, there was single mother Liu Ying, and later, champion Liu Qingqing of the Starlight Avenue.
But Liu Fengchun didn't know that he and Lei Huan both thought Chen Shi had seduced Liu Ying and hidden her away, despite Chen Shi telling them about the other world. Lei Huan didn't believe it at all. Lei Huan handed over the two children and the restaurant to Liu Fengchun, also handing over his own work "Imperial Kitchen Menu" to Liu Fengchun, asking him to raise the children to adulthood and use his own restaurant as repayment, giving it to Liu Fengchun. Afraid that the children would misunderstand when they grew up, he left behind a written document as proof. Then Lei Huan disappeared.
Liu Fengchun returned to Liu Family Village with her two children. At that time, his wife had already passed away and he had remarried a new wife named Bai Shi.
In this way, Qing Yang and Qing Luan gradually grew up.
Liu Fengchun felt a weight lift off his shoulders as he said this, finally fulfilling the trust placed in him by his elder brother Lei Huan. However, it was somewhat regrettable that his wife Bai Shi only loved her own children and had arranged for Liu Qingqing to be married off to Hu Zhongren instead.
Liu Fengchun's face was filled with apology, and he said to Liu Qingqing: "Qingqing, your uncle owes you an apology. I didn't notice it in time, which made you suffer a grievance. Fortunately, good people are blessed by heaven, and you were able to return safely."
Liu Feiyang pretended to be unaware and asked, "Master Liu, the man your sister married is a wealthy and powerful person who has everything he could want. Why would you feel guilty?"
Liu Fengchun said, "My dear nephew, you don't know that because of your mother, our family and the Hu family have been like fire and water, with a tense relationship. Later, I saw the letter from Leishu, which was written by your mother's own hand, and I knew she really came from another world. She mentioned flying ships, saying they could fly into the sky. So, I wanted to build a flying ship to take Lei Huan to find his sister in that other world. That's why I've been accumulating wealth with ulterior motives, inevitably offending the Hu family's interests. The Hu family has been resentful of my family, and when I was short on money and asked them for a loan, Hu Zhongren agreed immediately, but on one condition: to marry his daughter off to their family. He didn't like my daughter; he just wanted to control me. Since Qingluan is my only daughter, if he grasped her, it would be equivalent to having me in the palm of his hand."
Liu Feiyang and Liu Qingqing exchanged a bitter smile, what kind of absurdity. This Liu Fengchun didn't think it was that bad either.
How could someone so kind and selfless, who would sacrifice himself for his brother's happiness, possibly kidnap Zhenzhen and harm others?
Liu Fengchun looked at the two of them, smiling kindly: "It's getting late, you two siblings should also get some rest early, I'm going back too, I'm old and useless. After a long time, I feel tired."
Liu Qingqing and Liu Feiyang stood up to see him off. Liu Fengchun said, "Stay." The two watched as Liu Fengchun left before sitting back down in their original seats, continuing their conversation.
"What to do?" Qingqing raised her lively big eyes and looked at Feiyang. Feiyang said, "What else can we do? Just continue with the original plan!"
